Divine King of Honour

"Let's go; the Ouyang Family will arrive soon, and aside from these two items, there's nothing else of value here," Lin Ruolan indifferently said, and then she walked out of the tomb.

Xu Nian waved his sleeve, stowing the hundred-handled Xuan Iron Sword into his storage ring, before planning to follow Lin Ruolan.

"Kid, you're ignoring the most precious treasure in this cave dwelling and picking up a piece of garbage."

At that moment, Emperor Ye Tian's voice suddenly echoed in Xu Nian's mind.

"Where is the most precious treasure?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.

This hall was only so big, and everything was visible at a glance. He had already taken all the items that should be taken, so where could there be any treasure left?

But he couldn't help but believe Emperor Ye Tian's words.

"Kid, do you see the pillar on your left? Smash that pillar, and that's where the treasure is," Emperor Ye Tian's voice rang out.

Xu Nian looked, a bit astonished, at the seemingly ordinary pillar to his left.

There were four pillars in the hall, which Xu Nian thought were just there to support it.

But now, it seemed it wasn't as simple as he thought.

"Buzz!"

A Meteorite Iron Hammer appeared in Xu Nian's hand, and he swung the hammer straight down onto the pillar.

"Boom!"

The pillar instantly shattered, and the whole hall shook at that moment, as if it was about to collapse.

However, Xu Nian's face revealed a look of astonishment because inside the broken pillar was a ring that emitted a profound aura.

"This is a Divine Artifact, the Gravity Ring. It can alter the gravity around you, increasing it by up to ten thousand times within a hundred meters," Emperor Ye Tian's voice resounded in Xu Nian's mind.

Shock appeared on Xu Nian's face.

A Divine Artifact?

Gravity increased by ten thousand times?

How terrifying was that power?

Forget ten thousand times; even a hundred times gravity could crush a person to death.

"Boom!"

Cracks spread through the hall, and large stones began to collapse.

Xu Nian didn't have time to think further, grabbed the ring, and ran towards the exit.

As Xu Nian emerged from the hall, the entire hall completely collapsed, and even the tunnel began showing signs of collapse.

"What did you do? Hurry up!" Lin Ruolan glared fiercely at Xu Nian, then quickly fled towards the cave exit.

Xu Nian followed closely behind, and eventually, the two narrowly escaped from the mine cave dwelling.

"That was close; we almost got buried in there," Xu Nian exclaimed.

"What did you do to make the cave dwelling collapse?" Lin Ruolan asked in confusion.

"I accidentally broke a pillar," Xu Nian said with a laugh, trying to cover it up.

At the moment he had broken the pillar, Lin Ruolan had already left, so she hadn't discovered the presence of the Gravity Ring.

Naturally, Xu Nian wouldn't tell her about the Gravity Ring, as its value far exceeded that of the Purple Gold Soft Armor, and he couldn't be sure Lin Ruolan wouldn't be tempted.

Xu Nian secretly dropped his blood to claim ownership, and his mind instantly linked with the Gravity Ring.

Xu Nian discovered he could control the gravity within a hundred-meter radius through the ring.

However, because Xu Nian's cultivation was too weak, he could only alter the gravity by up to ten times.

```

As time went on and his cultivation continued to increase, so too would his control over gravity's strength and range.

But a tenfold change in gravity was enough for now.

In battle, an unexpected use of it would certainly be a lethal strike.

"Let's go, the people from the Ouyang Family must be arriving soon," Lin Ruolan said.

Xu Nian nodded.

With their combined strengths, facing off against the entire Ouyang Family was certainly not a wise choice.

"Go? Where to?"

However, just as Xu Nian and Lin Ruolan were about to leave, ten people emerged in the distance, among them was the Family Head Ouyang Tian.

But Ouyang Tian was not at the very front; leading them were two elders, both of whom were Xuantian-level Battle Generals.

Xu Nian's brow furrowed, the Ouyang Family seemed to have mobilized in full force!

What caught Xu Nian's attention the most, however, was a young man around twenty years old among the ten.

This young man was a Nine-star War Sect cultivator. Xu Nian had never seen such a young Battle Sect cultivator before.

The young man stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a face full of pride.

Even Ouyang Tian, the Family Head, stood behind him, clearly indicating his status was even higher than that of Ouyang Tian's.

If Xu Nian was not mistaken, this young man must be from the mysterious force behind the Ouyang Family.

"Hand over the treasures you acquired in the Saint Tomb, and I'll spare you from death," the white-haired old man leading the Ouyang Family commanded with authority.

He was Ouyang Tian's father, Ouyang Kuangfeng, a Two-star War General. Beside him was his brother Ouyang Kuanglei, a One-star War General.

"Father, we cannot let this Xu Nian go. Your two grandsons were killed by him, and Ouyang Long is dead at his hands too," Ouyang Tian cried out upon hearing his father suggesting to spare Xu Nian.

Ouyang Kuangfeng's expression immediately darkened as he glared at Xu Nian and angrily said, "So you are Xu Nian. You killed my three grandchildren; no one can save you today. If you hand over the treasures you obtained voluntarily, I'll leave your corpse intact."

"Haha, leave me an intact corpse? Do you really think your Ouyang Family can kill me?" Xu Nian laughed heartily, a surge of anger rising in his heart.

He had killed Ouyang Tianlan and Ouyang Chengfeng because they had asked for it.

Had they not provoked him, why would he have killed them for no reason?

Now the Ouyang Family had brought so many people to kill him for revenge, but in the end, it boiled down to whose fist was stronger.

"Sister, I'll leave you to your fortunes; I won't be joining you," Lin Ruolan said to Xu Nian with a slight smile, then suddenly, a pair of dragonfly-like illusory wings sprouted behind her.

"Flying Battle Skill?" Xu Nian was shocked.

He hadn't expected Lin Ruolan to possess a Flying Battle Skill.

Flying Battle Skills could form illusory wings out of spiritual energy, allowing anyone below the rank of Marquis to fly. These skills were extremely rare and precious, it was unexpected that Lin Ruolan had one.

Lin Ruolan soared into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Ouyang Family, eager to intercept, were helpless to fly and could only watch as Lin Ruolan flew away.

With Lin Ruolan gone, Xu Nian was now the only one left on the field.

Xu Nian cursed inwardly; with Little Xu Yu still not returned, there was no way he too could escape.

"Humph, one got away; don't let this one escape too. Just kill him and take the treasures," the young man coldly hooted, clearly unsatisfied with the Ouyang Family letting Lin Ruolan escape.

"Yes, Young Master!" Ouyang Kuangfeng immediately responded.

"Father, there's no need for you to take action. I want to kill Xu Nian myself, to avenge Tianlan and Chengfeng," Ouyang Tian said with a cold huff.

He then burst forth, charging at Xu Nian with terrifying spiritual energy, the peak strength of a Nine-star Martial Sect clearly evident.

His speed was incredibly fast, reaching Xu Nian in the blink of an eye.

His palm surged with spiritual energy as he aimed a powerful and domineering strike directly at Xu Nian's face.
